Harry Reid may be retired, but the master manipulator is still exerting a major influence over Democrats ahead of the 2018 midterms.

Reid talked about his influence in an interview with The Nevada Independent, an online news outlet. Though much of the conversation focused on issues unique to Nevada, reporter Riley Snyder eventually turned the discussion national.

Snyder asked Reid if there is a path to a senate majority for Democrats in 2018. Reid answered in the affirmative:

Sure. We’re two short in the Senate, and I think it’s very probable that we’ll be able to retake the Senate. And I have felt much better about the House in recent weeks. There’s no question in my mind that this election coming up in 2018 is going to be a change election. The House is right now; it’s hard for Ryan to put together a 218 (member majority).
